A few days ago I was turning on the spigot to fill the top field water troughs when I noticed how quickly our meter (that measures our energy consumption) was spinning. Quick calculation had me determine that our clothes dryer was the only device running at the time. I was appalled. Today I put a stop to it. (No I did not list my dryer on Craigslist). I did even better. I rehung my clothes line. It felt great.
I can smell my clothes drying as I sit on my porch and type. I think if more folks considered how we expend energy, and made one small change, the world may just be a better place. Okay...that is a broad statement...but I can guarantee their electric bill would shrink. Try it...you will be amazed.
